I would not prepare the formula more than 24 hours in advance, assuming it is stored in the fridge. Longer and you risk vitamin loss and increase the chance of contamination, and going stale/off.
You can store boiled water in sterilized bottles for longer, and only then make up the formula as required. This is the better option.

24 hours is better, not too long.. but better the fresh one
what i do to make it easier is prepare some bottles for the day, fill each up with water ....
i also get a formula dispenser (1 dispenser divided to some portions, so in 1 dispenser i've got 3-4 portions of milk powder)
when ever i need milk for my baby, i just get the bottle warmed up, then pour 1 portion of milk from the dispenser, quite easy n fresh
but if u prepare to get ready in the fridge, better just to make enough for 1 day

I would go with 2 days. When I prepared bottles, I used the powder, and I would only make enough bottles for 2 days and put them in the fridge. The other bottles I would have all cleaned and filled with water, waiting on the counter, so I could just make more when I needed them.

depends on the make, you have to check on the tin. I wouldn't reccomend keeping it for any longer than 24hours though.

It says you shouldn't do it at all.
